Owner`s manual

SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA
The TARINO and AVENTINE spas are designed to operate at either 115 volt 20 amp or 230 volt 50 amp while the PALATINO, MARINO & VANTO spa models require
a dedicated 230 volt 50 amp power supply. When the TARINO or AVENTINE spa is connected to 115 volts 20 amp, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of
heat only when the pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is calling for heat (NOTE: The heater does not operate when the pump is on high speed). When
the PALATINO, MARINO, VANTO, TARINO and AVENTINE spas are connected to 230 volts, the heater will provide approximately 4000 watts of heat when the pump is
operating in LOW or HIGH speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electrical control box or on the back of the field wiring access panel of
the equipment module.
115 VOLT INSTALLATION
Spas provided with a factory-installed power supply cord are to be plugged into a grounded, grounding type 20 ampere receptacle (TARINO & AVENTINE) models. No
other electrical appliance or fixture can be used on this circuit.
IMPORTANT: Under NO circumstances should an extension cord be used. Use of an extension cord will seriously degrade the performance of the equipment module
and can create an electrical hazard.
230 VOLT INSTALLATION
When using 230 volt power supply, installation of a 50 amp dedicated circuit is required. Your spa must be hardwired direct to a GFCI-protected subpanel by a licensed
electrician. A wiring diagram is provided inside the equipment module showing where the connections are to be made.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND PRECAUTIONS
Your VACANZA series spa has been carefully designed to give you maximum safety against electrical shock. Connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will
negate many of the spa’s safety features. Improper wiring may also cause electrocution, risk of fire, and other risks of injuries. Please read and follow the electrical
installation requirements and instructions for your spa completely!
115-230 VOLT CONVERSION (TARINO & AVENTINE SPA MODEL)
Refer to the following instructions to convert your 115 volt TARINO or AVENTINE spa to a 230 volt 30A or 50A spa.
NOTE: Converting the spa to 230 volts operation should only be done by an authorized service agent or a qualified electrician. A CALDERA
Spa Technician must
reconfigure spa using the soft jumpers to allow the heater to run at 4K, and the jet pump Not to run concurrent with heater @ 30A and run concurrent with heater @ 50A.
The conversion requires a subpanel (230 volt) which may be purchased from your Authorized dealer. Ask for part # 301758.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the house receptacle.
2. Remove the screws and open the equipment compartment door.
3. Remove the screws from the control box.
4. Open the control box cover.
5. Remove the power cord wires, and the power jumper wire (from line 2 and neutral) on the line
side of the terminal block.
A licensed electrician must install the subpanel (available from your dealer) to supply power to the spa. The subpanel must be placed in sight of the spa at a minimum
distance of 5 feet away. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in this manual and on the back of the field wiring
access panel of the control box. NOTE: Bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment or fixtures, handrails, and concrete pad per N.E.C. and all local codes.
